What Is A Bookstagrammer?
A bookstagrammer is an instagram user who has a niche Instagram profile that is centered around books. These Instagram users post creative images of books, quotes from books, places to read books, and sometimes themselves reading books. If you’re already familiar with Instagram influencers, bookstagrammers often have thousands of followers and sponsorships or brand deals due to their large audiences.

#3 – twinklingchapters
This beautiful bookstagram account is owned by an Indonesian bookstagrammer who loves playing with warm color tones, autumn vibes, and window light to create her book photography. Rarely showing her face, the photos are focused on the art of posing her books and warm drinks in creative ways. Many of her shots use browns, whites, and dark shadows as a backdrop for vintage books and then are sprinkled with vibrant color pops like dried flowers or autumn leaves. If you’re looking for reading space inspiration, definitely follow this account!

#4 – theguywiththebook
Based out of Saudi Arabia, this highly successful bookstagrammer also has a YouTube channel! Unlike the other profiles we’ve listed, this bookstagrammer captures book and reading spots on the go! Whether he spots an awesome used book find, or whether he’s grabbing a coffee at a local coffee shop, he’ll often capture the moment—using his colorful, patterned socks to accent many of his shots. Faroukh also experiments with the most creative ways he can store his books on his walls. We have to admit, we’re definitely about to try some of his shelving ideas!

#5 – katie.reads.things
Bright and bold is the name of the game for this bookstagrammer, who chooses to highlight the brightest possible colors her book spines have to offer. If the other bookstagrammers we’ve mentioned harness the colors of autumn and winter, Katie most definitely harnesses spring and summer with her profile. She takes her book photography inside and out, often revealing ocean views and bright green foliage in others with Sydney, Australia, as her backdrop. Katie also uses her dog to capture hearts in many of her photos, as well as leverages technology by featuring titles in their digital formats on cell phone or tablet devices. She deserves a follow from you for sure!
